It's a little long, but that's my bumper sticker slogan. I think it's refreshing to have a candidate so open about his bribe policy.

I want to jump on the Burge bandwagon, while the slot for Space Czar remains open. Normally, the Vice President is in charge of that kind of thing, but Goldstein doesn't know anything about it.

As my Vice President, Jeff (Goldstein)will preside over the US Senate, lead policy initiatives, and act as my personal anti-assassination insurance policy.

Blew orange drink all over the screen after reading that one.

Surge With Burge!

We Crave Dave

Hawk This, Assyderms!

Surgee with Burgee?

and act as my personal anti-assassination insurance policy.

I've suspected for a long time that most vice presidents are selected for this reason.

Is Iowahawk funny or something? I dunno I guess my funny genes are wired differently. I've honestly tried to read the ones you linked to Rand but the only one I found mildly amusing was the one about Zarqawi in the after-life. And that was like, what, 1013049710293710270129380123 years ago?

Surely, you have something in the lab that you could use to patch Josh's funny gene.

Since it appears to be fun for "you guys" to parody the Left with MooreGore and stuff like that, and Iowahawk is a genuine master in that genre, this is probably a good thread as any to introduce a Daily Kos diary entitled:

Welcome FOX viewers

Front page and at the top of the recommended list.

'cause for better or worse we are all trapped together inside this nation and need to find a way to just get along . . .

Meet another Kossack who goes by the name Shadan 7. Here is his personal blog with a story about TGV Rockets:

Other than politics, I think many who read stuff here would like reading this guy.

Ooops, looks like shadan 7 posts on a group blog.

I have a suggestion for Space Czar Rand "Flash" Simberg. Each time Rand takes any sort of podium it should be mandatory (by law?) to play the two first lines of that well-known Queen song:

Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us

The "Bring On the Problems!" bumpersticker is pure genious and "It's the fuel : air ratio stupid" is pretty good too.

'cause for better or worse we are all trapped together inside this nation and need to find a way to just get along.

Who says? If present fertility trends continue another century or so, all the fretful Blue-state ZPG Prius-drivers will have bred their gene lines right out of existence, and the four-child Suburban-driving Red-state families of today will have inherited the Republic.

But I'm not sure it will work out that way. Somehow I suspect that when most of the Kos Kidz turn 30 or 35, they'll stop foaming at the mouth about The Revolution, pop out a baby or two, secure a mortgage, and start thinking that lower taxes and a stout national security policy are surprisingly good ideas.

Carl, you are spot on, except it is already happening and the Daily Kos demographics demonstrate the point. If the Kos Kidz were all economic losers there is no way Markos could generate the ad revenue he does.

Which is VERY substantial for a guy going as solo owner with one code monkey to run the blog.

Anyway, here is another top diary voted to the top of the lists today and written by a rightie lurker:

Now, before my fellow conservatives start accusing me of being a RINO I think it is important that you realize the following things about me (DK'ers might want to skip this part :))

* I voted for Bush and would do so again in a heartbeat.
* I listen to Rush Limbaugh every single day and if I have to miss a show I listen to it later using the Rush 24/7 member service.
* I cannot stand John McCain.
* Ann Coulter makes me smile and laugh.
* Olbermann might as well be a 4-letter word.

And he also writes this;

P.S. Oh, if anyone from freerepublic.com is reading this post, please look at how dailykos.com is programmed using Web 2.0 technology. I feel like I am stuck in the 80s whenever I goto freerepublic.com. Basically, dailykos.com kicks freerepublic.com's *ss when it comes to usability.

All your intarwebs belong to us. Righties, you can OWN talk radio. Fine by me. ;-)

Ciao for now . . .

Uh, Billy-Bob, 2 Klix = 2 postings. Web 2 does not mean "everything twice". I know teknorrogy is hard, but, jeez!

Eh, well, as a side-comment, I'm totally underwhelmed by Web 2.0, or by Really Kewl eye-candy in your Web interface. The worst site on the Web in terms of usability so far as I'm concerned is digg.com. It makes my browser allocate 40 Mb of Ram so that all the kewl graphics can arrange themselves properly, and the page takes 5-10 seconds to load.

What crap. "Usability" by me means you can get what you want from the Web -- information -- as fast and as simply as possible. I don't give a damn whether the fonts are nifty, or the colors are eye-pleasing, and if I want photos and graphics, I don't mind clicking for them, 'cause nine times out of ten I don't, and I won't, saving myself time. There's something so beautifully compact and efficient about the written word. Gets across what's meant, no muss, no fuss, a mere 500 bits or so per thought.

For that matter, I don't mind clicking two or three times to see what I want -- my forefinger isn't weak -- so long as I am not forced to wait around for heavyweight code I don't want to spool up.

Sigh. Frankly, the Web was way more functional -- if less entertaining -- before that nightmare Javascript was hatched in Mountain View out of brains addled by too much Mountain Dew.
